Open Source Virtual Terrain

Submitted by Nick Wilson on Fri, 01/11/2008 - 09:12

One of the things we've been keen to run alongside our ongoing effort to build an Open Source development platform for corporations in virtual worlds is the terrain to go with them.

You can have the most gorgeous, useful and well designed spaces in the virtual world, but if they're plonked on top of a featureless flat expanse of grass, well, they just don't meet their full potential now do they?

With that in mind, we will be offering a range of terrains made available under the same GPLv3 license as our development kits. To start this off, we've teamed up with Ashmuel Gould from Terra Bella who'll be designing the first terrain files for the library. Ashmuel is a very talented terrain artist and we're very proud to have him contribute to the project.

Watch this space. We'll let you know when the first ones become available.

If you'd like to contribute to the terrain project, or indeed any other part of the Zebra system, please email nick@cleverzebra.com
